Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you need caffeine deaddiction.
If you stop caffeine suddenly, all these symptoms are bound to occur.
So you should gradually decrease the caffeine intake.
For this, you should consult psychiatrist to assist you in this deaddiction process.
Counselling done by psychiatrist plays very important role in deaddiction.
You will also need anxiolytic drugs like propranolol and flunarizine to control withdrawal symptoms like pain, weakness, migraine like headache etc.
Don't worry, you will be alright and become caffeine free. This will take at least 2-3 months.
So consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
